Brasserie Vacherin - Sutton

Food and service both good on this visit. Suggestion for the restaurant - the lighting in the main room is very uniform and bland and completely lacks intimacy. Doesn't really fit the style of restaurant.

There was only one vegetarian option on the brunch menu per course ( indicated by a V next to them). My daughter ordered the starter 'Red wine poached pair, Roquefort and endive salad'. However, she was concerned that the Roquefort, being a blue cheese was not vegetarian cheese. When she queried this, the waiter replied saying all cheese is vegetarian! To his credit, he went and checked and confirmed that it was not vegetarian, She sent this back and there was no other vegetarian starters. This is appalling! Passing non-vegetarian food as vegetarian. Since I paid by voucher, I could not even ask for a refund. I enjoyed my fish and frittes but it is not recommended for vegetarians. By the way, we were the only ones in the restaurant. I do not think I would return.

Excellent food, great service. Very attentive waiter, and food was extremely well cooked. Price was good too, and we will be back very soon . Loved it

Unfortunately our party of five were the only ones in the restaurant for most of the time we were there, which made for a strange atmosphere and patchy service. Only to be expected, I suppose, at lunchtime in January. But the food, when it came, was excellent. A better bet in the evenings, I would suggest.

Was my favourite restaurant, but their excessive portion control and inability to provide me with points on my loyalty card left a bad taste. The staff were initially attentive, but had issues when I requested something that was not in their usual experience.

Excellent food and attentive service at a very reasonable price. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and extremely helpful. The wine is excellent too.

I have never been disappointed here. Today good food and friendly helpful service as usual with the addition of extra help with a wheelchair user. Gets full marks.

Lovely NYE lunch with great food and service top notch - a really pleasant experience in the heart of Sutton. Beats having to go into the City / West End

I picked the wrong starter - it was the special and overpriced and there was no lemon sole AGAIN. Service was good and everybody enjoyed it

Excellent service as always and great food - The fillet steak was cooked as ordered and was extremely good, the staff are polite and cannot do enough for you. A decent selection of wine also.

Great service, excellent menu choice and specials board. Attentive staff. Good vibe in the restaurant - not too loud although would imagine at busy time it would be difficult to hear clearly.

After a stressful time of a getting a parking space, we were warmly greeted by the staff. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the only disappointment was the mince pie dessert as they weren’t homemade.

A nice experience - lovely food, good and prompt service, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We had a great lunch and will consider returning - many thanks.

Fantastic food, fantastic service! A perfect lunch spot with a lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and beautifully cooked food. Highly recommended local restaurant which stands well above the competitors.

Lovely staff, good, hot food, convenient location near to Sutton railway station, great value for money. We will return again and again. Very happy with them.

Lovely food and good attentive service for a family lunch for 9 yesterday. Delicious food. The anchovy butter is a wonderful flavour. Would definitely recommend.

The food was good, but the restaurant has no great atmosphere, and whilst the service was well meaning, it lacked skill and experience. The facilities also let it down a little. Whether you would consider it good value, depends on your priorities. I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility of another visit.

Nice place, Good service and great food, the only one minus, misunderstanding with desert. We had to wait 40 minutes for our last dishes. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent restaurant,food was amazing fresh,well cooked and excellent presentation.The service was first class they catered to your every need .A fantastic dinning experience that I will be attending and recommending again

I’ve never had a bad experience at this restaurant and have eaten there on many occasions, the food is always beautifully cooked, a gem in Sutton.

The menu was excellent as always plus some interesting specials on the board. Very tasty food enjoyed by all of us in our party of seven.

Service was excellent and the food was very good, although fish grill from a la carte was very " nouvelle cuisine", size. We had a slight problem with one main course as the Choucroute was missing however this was rectified when paying the bill. We will definitely be back although this is not our first visit. Axton

Fabulous restaurant. We have been a few times and are never disappointed. Staff are lovely and you are not rushed. Fab relaxing meal. Would highly recommend.

Sound but slightly dated French bistro with good cooking and service but nothing distinctive. Confit duck was really just roast duck - tasty but not authentic. Wine choice by glass and carafe was excellent. Not busy.

An excellent meal at a great quality restaurant with good menu choices and attentive staff

Excellent food, friendly service, slightly slow bringing a couple of items, free glass of fizz as we were celebrating our anniversary a really nice touch

Friendly staff but the service and meal could have been better. Bread came at the end of the first course, sides were forgotten, incorrect cutlery given and one main was over-cooked and left too long so ended up being somewhat cold. May have been an exception but I wouldn’t chance it again.

Food, service, everything was excellent! Best calamari and burger I have had in a while! Great service throughout and excellent value for money with the brunch menu

Great service, beautiful steak and fantastic value. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere for a business lunch. We took the special steak deal with a glass of wine thrown in.

For the price you would expect more. Food disappointing, service even more so as young staff prefer to chat. Alos how many people does it take to ask if the food is okay, do they know something we dont! Should have gone to Nandos!

Delicious! Very friendly staff We ordered last half of the lobster which was gorgeous! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy evening!

The food was excellent and the staff, especially the head waiter, were also very good. However we were served by four different people during our meal, which meant that there was no continuity. When I requested a small bowl of tomato sauce to accompany my frites, it did not come because I was served by a different person from the one to whom I had given the order. When it did come, the waitress seemed to want to put a tiny spoonful on my plate and take the bowl away: I had to make clear that I wished to keep the bowl. There was also an extremely noisy party on another table and management made no attempt to quieten them. I would have spoken to them myself but didn't want to embarrass our guest, but management should have stepped in. Overall there seemed to be a fall in standards in terms of service ethos and clientele.

We enjoyed a very enjoyable and tasty meal on steak night. The food and service was very good. we would recommend it for a night out.

The meal was very nice, the service was good and the wine was reasonably priced. All in all a very pleasant experience. Not our first time there but we will return.

Superb ! Highly rated. Great food, friendly staff and great French music. Excellent wines. Outdoor smoking area. The ambience of this brasserie is first class ! I will return.

Food excellent. Service frustratingly slow and erratic, however. It took nearly an hour to get our starters, and there were long waits for both main course and dessert after that. The above repeats our previous experience approx. two years ago, but we decided to give the restaurant another go, and it was disappointing that nothing much seems to have changed.

One of my very favourite restaurants. The food is wonderful and the staff are even better. A real treat, can't wait to return. Thank you.

Staff excellent attentive and professional. Food was ok, nothing ground breaking or out of the ordinary, burger had been grilled bit long which left a bitter taste in mouth. Nothing majorly bad just not as good as last time or what I was hoping for.

Great service,attentive staff and wonderful food. Highly recommend. Situated close to train and bus service. Like the fact you can book on line without any hassle.

Great food as always, perfectly cooked and good value. Just be careful with the wine list - you may get a cheaper substitute to what you ordered.

Food was good, went on a Monday which apparently means it's half price on all steaks. My T-bone steak was well cooked although the new potatoes I ordered to go with it were quite hard. Service was very polite and prompt. Nice surroundings (in the atrium at the rear of the restaurant). A good, reasonably priced venue for a midweek lunch.

Food was most enjoyable. The poached pears with chicory, moules, fried squid, sea bream with mussels and clams, all most enjoyable. The service was very friendly, but rather "hit & miss", even our wine order was forgotten, until reminded. Not really worth the 12.5% service charge !

Really lovely food - the pork belly was particularly good - and friendly, attentive staff. My second time eating here and it definitely won't be the last!

Great, friendly staff. Very accommodating. Steaks were amazing! And the 50% deal was great. Cocktails were delicious too. A great evening out in a little gem tucked away from the hussle and bussle.

Excellent attentive staff, Nice atmosphere, However if offered a table along the wall on one of the benches refuse they are low and uncomfortable to sit on. Also we had a groupon voucher and sun-thurs a £19.99 deal is on and a much larger range of dishes on offer for what will amount to £5 more, so well worth the money . So Good Food, Avoid the bench seats, don't bother with groupon.

Excellent customer service, very attentive waiter. Food was fabulous. The breakfast menu is extensive and all members of our party enjoyed theirs. The best coffee in Sutton!!

Excellent food, attentive service and nice relaxed atmosphere - will definitely be returning. Special main (surf & turf) was a little over priced but that was the only downside.

Very nice and helpful staff and very good food! The tarte tatin is to die for! Quality of ingredients is great! Will definitely go back!

A welcome return to form of this restaurant that we have been using for a few years but has gradually deteriorated over the years. This meal, however , was excellent with very good service with a new menu, bringing back some of their previous good offerings. I had a very authentic and good duck rillette as a starter whereas my wife had the tuna tartare that she absolutely adores. Thereafter the lobster of my wife was perfectly cooked whereas my Boeuf Bourginione was delicious and just as in France. For the dessert, a shared crepe sussette ( on as a special for the day) completed an excellent meal, finally rounded off by an espresso coffee and a mint tea.

Our food order was soft crab with allioli. instead I received tartar sauce, not as per menu. my wife had mussels for her starter, and sea bream with clams for her main course, she got 3 clams, and the rest of the sea food with her sea bream was mussels, which she had for her starter, I was also under the impression that the loyalty card gave me a discount off of the final bill, this did not happen. We did not want to spoil the evening by constant complaining, but overall, the small things that were wrong, were not as ordered, a great shame.
